November 2017![]()
I am so excited and want to share all the fun details, but alas, you are going to have to hold your ponies
Seeking Gold or Platinum players to test a pending tournament change on GoldToken's beta site: http://beta.goldtoken.com/. Games with a maximum clock time will (soon on GoldToken) timeout when the player's clock has reached that time, with no extra time given for vacation days or anything else. The games no longer switch to no-vacation mode. There should be no other change, but Mecir had to alter several timeout-related functions, so there may be unintended changes somewhere. Now's your chance to have a say in this testing process.
Tomas added a huge club code update to rework our site club system. Most of the rebuilt code sits in the back ground, with no major visible changes. Good news for club owners though, as this will allow us to add innumerable cool club improvements!
The new OS is fully in place and working well. There were more than a few bugs in this along with the club code rebuild, but most have been dealt successfully with. It's the ugly, not so fun, process of important site improvements when we are unable to test. If you are experiencing issues, please post them on the Bug Reports DB.
The results are in! Congrats to these winners and teams, and thank you to all who participated. Many thanks to our volunteers who make the games possible! Region with most points: The 2016 Winter Olympic Team Samwise Club Player with most points: wallywalter 190 tournaments out of 190 are finished. Team Scores

Don't stir after you put peaches in, I spoon mine in so they'll be evenly distributed then pour remaining syrup around. If you use the large baking dish, it's better to use a large can of peaches.

| Interview by: laura lee |
I was looking round the internet for some games to play and just stumbled across GT. The games here suited what I like to play as I'm not much into those role playing games other youngsters play.How'd you choose your name for GT?
My morphed GT name comes from my old GT name of thebodywall. It would be the name I give myself if I was to ever become a WWE wrestler and the name I give my created wrestler on the WWE video game. Now I am theeyewall to go with my creepy new eye icon.
My favourite game here is pipes as it seems to be the game here that I have mastered the most, invite me if you dare
I live in Adelaide which is in South Australia which is in Australia. It's a decent size city at 1 million and has a beautiful long coastline for those hot summer days. Kookaburra who plays here at GT is also from here
Besides GT my hobbies including checking out the fascinating things in museums and the creativeness on display in art galleries
No children or grandchild, maybe in the future we'll see.
I used to work in a Microbiology Lab testing if food was safe to eat, now currently between jobs and searching
We've had pets in the past since childhood I've always remembered having pet dogs and cats but since the passing of our last dog a couple years back it's been quiet here
I was 21 when I joined and now 33 and I'm a bloke who goes by the name James.
The farthest I've been from home is the city of Brisbane in Australia. I'm yet to travel overseas but have a strong desire to do so, hopefully next year embark on a holiday throughout Europe and looking for recommendation send me a message.
If I could be anywhere in the world right now I would love to be secluded in the wilderness being one with nature
I like summer the best as I prefer the hot weather over the cold
I'm a huge movie and music fan. In regards to movies I like to be taken on adventures, thrilled and scared, with my all time faves being Terminator 2, Back to the Future Trilogy, The Saw franchise and Shaun of the Dead
The actor I enjoy watching the most is Arnold SchwarzeneggerActress?
Nicole KidmanSong?
As for music I have attended over 300 concerts/gigs/festivals and have seen just as many different bands perform live. My favourites would have to be System of a Down, Korn, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Offspring, Linkin Park, Eminem and an Aussie band called The Butterfly Effect. The song that has had the most influence on my life is Coolio's - Gangsters Paradise as this was the song that commenced my love for music from beyond just what my Dad liked.
I've had the privilege of meeting some of my favourite musicians so to meet more in the future would be awesome.
